THESE brave daredevils were willing to go to great heights to raise £27,000 for charity.

Plucky Virgin Media employees from Stockton have taken to the skies as part of a charity fundraiser.

The 17 workers formed part of a 100-strong team that plummeted 13,000ft, as part of a relay-style skydiving event.

Husband and wife, Duncan, 34, and Jessie Poulson, from Ingleby Barwick, took part in the jump.

Jessie, a 23-year-old customer relations executive, said: "We brought together the team from the Stockton office and have enjoyed every minute.

"We had 17 employees take part and it was a great event to be involved with."

The event raised cash for the Virgin Unite charity and the East Anglia Air Ambulance.

Simon McKinna, Virgin Media requirement and user experience manager, who organised the event, said: "I am over the moon with the effort and bravery show by everyone and I am proud we have been able to raise so much for such worthwhile causes."

He added: "Each skydiver has worked really hard to raise money and we have passed our target of £20,000, with one skydiver raising £1,750 alone."
